Can you truly be a free thinker if all you do is think about yourself?

I mean I get that to be a freethinker, one must reject all the "status quo" regarding religion and traditional societal norms. But if you only think of yourself selfishly and utilize your rationale and logic in a selfish sense instead of to better humanity as a whole, are you truly a freethinker? Or are you just a narrow minded rationalizer?

I don't see a connection there. Freedom of thought is freedom to think anything, not just about oneself. Are you observing that, in your experience, free minds tend to be self-absorbed? If yes ... how so?

I do not think of myself all the time in fact it is less as a freethinker. Life is to short and I plan to have as much fun as possible before I return to the cosmos.
